Broadway Theatre League of Utica today hosted a drum workshop at the Stanley Theatre for the area’s budding band and music students, featuring performers from tonight’s presentation of BLUE MAN GROUP (NETworks Presentations, LLC and Blue Man Productions).

The drum workshop was open to area junior high and high school students participating in band, music, or percussion. John Fehlner, Executive Director of Broadway Theatre League, said Broadway Theatre League thought it was important to reach out to our aspiring future performers.

“This was a great opportunity for local students to gain a few tips and inspiration from national performers,” said Fehlner. These students could be the future of our national touring productions,” he added.

Schools that took part in the workshop included:

• Ilion
• Sauquoit
• Whitesboro
• Oneida
• Rome Catholic
• VVS
• Madison
• Little Falls
• New Hartford
• Clinton
